“We have a number of ongoing issues,” said Zandra de Araujo, one of the CNCA members in attendance. “I think in our neighborhood association I can speak for ongoing infrastructure issues.”

De Araujo specified issues with sewers flooding into homes.

“There’s been a lot of similar concerns,” she said.
